Powys has a new millionaire, finally - after a lottery ticket worth a cool £1 million was claimed after a delay of over a month.
Lottery operators Camelot say no further details can be released about the identity of the winner, who bought the ticket in Powys, but say they are "delighted" that the prize has been claimed.
A statement from the company said: "Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, operator of The National Lottery, is pleased to announce that the £1,000,000 EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker prize from the special EuroMillions draw on 13 July 2018 – which had previously remained outstanding from a ticket bought in Powys – has now been claimed."
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said, "We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win. It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this life-changing amount of money. We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play."
